Re: [UM-LINUX] comcast dynDNS

[Phil Anderson]

iif i'm not mistaken, dynDNS is a method of resolving incoming DNS, it shouldn't change the way your router and other boxen handle DNS requests. so you shouldn't need to mess with setup at all, because comcast's DNS servers will still be the same ( i.e., your router will still get the correct DNS servers in it's DHCP reply, and it will pass on DNS requests from the computers behind the router to that server as needed.)

I'm a comcast customer and I haven't gotten any notice about this, so I don't know details...

to my surprise i did finally get a notice from Comcast (accidentally read it
last night) thast today, the 12th, they are switching to dynDNS.

Their instructions cover Win and Mac. But what about those poor sobs with
router boxes. I suspect i'm ok. I'm running OpenWRT,and it maintains its own
dns, since all my machines have my local router (192.168.1.x) as the DNS.

But if you would be hooked into the cable directly, is there really something
special to do for dynDNS. Does't just setting it to DHCP do the job?
